Frost depth varies considerably depending on factors like snow
cover, proximity to structures, etc. Take a look at the attached
engineering study I found several years ago when setting the
foundation for an attached deck. <br>

<div>Very interesting! </div>

</div>
<div>I'm curious what effect we might see burying the sensor
completely, say below the frostline:</div>

<div>This would make deployment more difficult, but would surely
provide significant stability. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But what does it do to magnetic field lines? - one more
experiment that I would like to try sometime: place several
sensors in a vertical column at, say 500 cm intervals in a
fairly uniform deposit of soil.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Seismic interaction is something I hadn't considered.</div>

Did a 13 hour run from 2300edt yesterday to noon today and
then started a second run to complete 24 hours. Seeing a
slight 0.3 degree upward shift in temp over the 13 hours.
The sensor results are not flat line and still show some
drift with an initial relatively rapid change after
starting the run ... have to see if the same thing happens
on the run in progress now. <br>
Some activity around 0400edt to 0900edt which I can't
explain as magnetic field shifts, at least according to
the data from Intermag. Might be seismic activity related
as any movement of the sensor could also create a 'signal'
in the low nT range (~50nT).<br>

<div>I will look closely at this when I get back from my
appointment this am. THere are definitely some
untested 'features' here. </div>

I think we're OK operator error here with
parameter formats .... <br>
Sorry for the false alarm<br>
